Wednesday Wisdom

no matter how much you want to clean out the freezer and use up that tiny bit of spinach don't put it in the chicken pot pie, your kids will call it seaweed, and won't TOUCH it with a 10 foot pole.

as good as it feels NOT to have to hop over to the bathroom closet with your shorts around your ankles don't leave the extra rolls of t.p. out near the toilet, the kids will start a new roll each time and you will find 2-3 half used rolls on the floor in the bathroom (how much are they using anyway, I think we go through a roll a day...note to self; discuss toilet paper use at supper tonight)

even if you are in a super duper hurry to complete the laundry don't take a QUICK look at your hubby's uniform and toss it into the dryer without thoroughly inspecting it for grass stains in the most unusual places (I know this is why the Lord gave us the knowledge to create the Clorox Bleach Pen)

it may be nice to be able to turn the radio UP and do a load of laundry but don't be glad to finally get your sleeping hubby out of the house only to learn he use the expensive bug spray on the lawn on the only evening it is supposed to rain (in his defense he has been working nights and completely oblivious to the weather for the last few days)

if you have a puppy; always, ALWAYS cage your watermelons (see next post for more information)

Billy Graham's Prayer for our Nation

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem... We have abused power and called it politics... We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' before he died and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God…'
